How many people were using chronically?

I identify chronic users crudely – I look for entries where the words “chronic” [can sometimes indicate chronic pain, meaning opioid scripts], “Chronic”, “user”, “drug use”, “drug user”, “drug abuse”, “snort”, “snorts”, “drug abuse”, “addict”, “addicted”, “rehab”, “sober house”, “clean” or “abuse” pops up in either the notes field or immediate cause of death, because that generally means that the person had chronic drug use [based on my look at the data]

2018

## [1] "There were at least 67 people with known chronic use out of 168 decedents in 2018, which is 39.880952 percent of all decedents."

2019

2020

## [1] "There were at least 128 people with known chronic use out of 211 decedents in 2020, which is 60.663507 percent of all decedents."

2021

## [1] "There were at least 126 people with known chronic use out of 232 decedents in 2021, which is 54.310345 percent of all decedents."

2022

## [1] "There were at least 103 people with known chronic use out of 186 decedents in 2022, which is 55.376344 percent of all decedents."
